Hizbul mujahideen planning major attack: Intelligence report

New Delhi: The Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) is planning a large-scale terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir to “avenge the elimination of Riyaz Naikoo,” intelligence sources said.

Naikoo, an HM leader, was eliminated by security forces early this month. The attack could happen in a fortnight, the report said. Where the attack could take place is not clear

HM activities include the movement of a group from south Kashmir to Kishtwar. Ashraf Moulvi, an HM leader, has moved from Anantnag to Kishtwar to command cadres in the area. Besides, HM terrorists–about five– have been spotted near Gurez. They are likely to attempt to enter into J&K very soon.
